Really? I was under the impression that the two games were totally unrelated plot-wise. I've (somehow) managed to avoid Xenoblade 1 spoilers up to this point, so it'd be a real shame if I ended up ruining it for myself after all this time, haha.

Yes and no it's a bit like the Zelda timeline where the games themselves have stand alone stories and events that you don't need to play the other games to understand but the is a connection that links all games together that makes you understands things in a much deeper sense. Instead of a timeline like in Zelda the is an overarching narrative that is playing out and gives a huge central back story as well as sets things up going forward and as you play more games in the series you grasp more and more of the narrative that the series' universe will be dictated by for example one character in one of the 3 Xenoblade game fits in with two others in a certain way in another (won't spoil it or how that's for you to figure out).

Hmm, would you say the original Xenosaga games are still worth playing in this day and age? I mean, in a hypothetical scenario where free time is a non-issue.

They are connected but you would not know it until a specific moment and not talking about the optional DLC. Saying more than I should. X is unrelated to the rest of the games tho. So Xenoblade,Xenoblade 2 then Torna in that order.

Alright then, I'll heed your warning. I guess I'll play Octopath Traveller in the meantime...or Final Fantasy 7 Remake. There are just too many games to catch up on these days.
